WBRC citing detectives said that officers “recovered multiple fully automatic weapons, equipment believed to be used to modify semiautomatic weapons to fully automatic, stolen property, fentanyl, methamphetamines, other narcotics, and drug paraphernalia.”

Shortly after the arrest, in a statement, Leed Police Chief Irwin said:
